About Us

Green Castle Estate is a historic and remarkably beautiful 1600 acre property located on the north coast of Jamaica.   The property is privately owned by Richard Padgett, and has a network of community and business stakeholders that work together to make the property and the area successful.  Richard's unique approach at Green Castle has allowed him to focus on tourism, while developing entrepreneurial opportunities for local businesses such as GC Orchids, JamOrganiX, Jacks Bay Beach and Eastern Livestock Development Association. Education, research and community efforts are supported by Greencastle Tropical Study Center, which works closely with the US Peace Corps.
